If someone isn't charged with manslaughter for that then something has gone v wrong. Why didn't anyone in the trailer speak up either? That looks v much like it was an accident waiting to happen, if the pics tell the true story. So many people pay lip service to H&S. I don't understand why it is considered jobsworth/uncool to keep people safe. I couldn't live with myself if I was in charge of that operation/there on the day and didn't say anything. More people should speak up when they see unsafe practices.
it is very hard to speak up, if your employer is saying, it is all right, get on with it.If someone isn't charged with manslaughter for that then something has gone v wrong.

Customers then? If I was paying anything like the quoted rates I wouldn’t be sharing a lambing trailer with ten others guys and guns.it is very hard to speak up, if your employer is saying, it is all right, get on with it.
As it was a Ranger, it is unlikely there were 10 in the trailer.Customers then? If I was paying anything like the quoted rates I wouldn’t be sharing a lambing trailer with ten others guys and guns.

One report is quoted as eleven on the trailer, others eleven in total. Not that it matters now, but either is stupidly overloaded.As it was a Ranger, it is unlikely there were 10 in the trailer.
I love these threads full of hindsight and assumptionsComplacency I expect. They've probably been steadily trundling over that bridge regularly for the last 20 years and never been a problem before.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing though, allowing everyone to say how silly it was.
And if that is what happened then the employer should have the book thrown at them so they never put an employee in that position again.it is very hard to speak up, if your employer is saying, it is all right, get on with it.
The paying customers and staff shouldn’t need to do the assessments, no more than I would ask to see the engineering calculations before I go in a ride at Alton Towers. But the landowner and the shoot organiser should have thought it through and checked that the structure was capable of the intended load. And the driver should have had appropriate training too, such that they also spotted the hazard.Most people in that situation don’t stop and assess everything around them. I bet the 11 people were busy having a good chat and a laugh and barely gave the bridge a second thought. It’s very rare in that situation for anyone to say hang on a minute f**k this I’m getting off.
